deg said: now youre hype about CloverWorks they are the new Ufotable studio lol especially with their super producer that attracts a lot of talented animators and staff That's a gigantic reach, ufotable have most of their work done in-house, if anything they are A1-Pictures but with people that have a lot of passion about their work. |
| That was one of the most interesting premiere episodes I've seen in anime as it not only made me extremely curious but it also grabbed my attention the entire time as I was trying to figure out what in the hell was happening. It was engrossing though and I'm really captivated to find out more about what this show is about and piece the puzzle together more. I needed an anime like this to satisfy me cognitively, especially a mystery anime (although its presented as a slice of life by MAL here) and this oozes a ton of potential for me. CloverWorks did well with the cinematography, the music and the visuals as a whole despite a couple weird CG moments, but the whole atmosphere of the show feels trippy and bizarre so in this case, I'll allow it. Very fascinating episode overall. Best premiere of the season so far, and my favorite premiere since the Dorohedoro one I'd say last year. |
deg said: Yeah, I figured as such, similar to how other studios like MAPPA with more than one show per season exhibit different levels of quality in each one due to employing different teams. Still, seeing this level of production in this one show was unexpected, at least for me. Kosmonaut said: Well, to be fair, the other Cloverworks show I'll be keeping up with this season, Horimiya, didn't impress me with its visuals as much as this one did. probably because they are not part of the production committee of Horimiya so its not a priority to them unlike this Wonder Egg one but im just guessing here since i do not watch both shows although the sakuga community is hyping Wonder Egg Priority for months now thats how i learned about it |

| The animation does look really good for the most part, but everything from the story and the characters had me every other minute saying "dat fuck? dat double fuck??" Yes, probably some intentional mystery elements here, but nothing I feel like really ties into anything important yet. Slice of life usually is my thing, but I doubt this thing be actually your typical high school SOL stuff. I know it's just an anime original with great looking animation, but man, for now, I'm simply not sold on anything theme-wise or character-wise here. It feels honestly a bit too conceited, imho. Guess it'll take time, though. At least sakuga will definitely keep my interest. |
 |
| I read slice of life and was not very interested at first, only decided to watch because of the lack of information about the show, I got curious! I regret nothing, psychological/dementia can be really nice and this seems promising. |
 |
| WOAH, what in the HELL did i just watch Pretty interesting concept tho and it looks and sounds BEAUTIFUL, so i’m digging It also looks like it’s gonna get quite dark :0 I’m hoping so. |
 |
| Not gonna gush over it since i still enjoyed Horimiya and Mushoku Tensei more so far but this looks like it could be amazing in the long run (or could fall apart horribly). Animation is used so well for character movement. |
| Did not expect that. I really thought this was gonna be a regular slice of life with some drama here and there, but I was wrong. This is rather interesting and it has potential. Now I'm actually hooked, can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| @deg I can certainly understand the hype. I'm not a sakuga enthusiast specifically, but, from my knowledge in 'traditional' cinematography, the first episode at least was impeccable, specially in the character acting department. Anyway, thanks for the info, good to know enthusiasts enjoyed it as well. |
|
| I’ll be honest here I don’t know what is happening in episode 1 While watching it I just felt confuse The only good thing about it is that the animation Is gorgeous But with the story It doesn’t make sense Idk if I’m gonna enjoy this anime |
Nina supporter for life💕 |
| Didn't expected it to be this good. Didn't even watched the pv before so went completely blind into this, I thought it would be some SOL, but I was wrong. Can't wait for the next episode, this looks really promising |
| It was pretty good. Confusing, but good. Definitely not what I was expecting haha. I thought it was going to be a cute slice of life, not whatever that was. |
| Ok, this was great. I didnt expect a normal SoL as there was someone in the staff working as a "action animation director" so i expected something more than normal, but not this out of the normal. The animation is incredible as expected with some great character designs. Like a lot of people i didnt understand almost nothing from the episode but i am still extremely interested in it all, i especially like the creppy vibe they are going for, rare to see good horror elements in anime this days. The characters are also pretty cute and fairly enjoyable. Very hyped for this. |
| What a pleasant surprise!! I had a feeling there would be more to it. Never trust cute slice of life animes xD |
 |

| I'm pleasantly surprised at how well produced this is compared to your typical low effort inconsistent garbage from Cloverworks/A1 Pictures. We'll see how it goes. |
| :3 |
| Wow, what a ride, I'm on board for this. |
 |
| I was really excited for all the originals this season and I wasn't let down. Damn the character acting is good! |
 |
| @VP2003boi yep confirmed by the sakuga community there will be action scenes on this show |
| Okay, I've literally no idea what I just watched but count me in! CloverWorks really are stepping up their game this season. I'd a feeling they'd less into this project but color me surprised. Character designs and Soundtrack for the most part was pretty cool too. |

| Perfect in every possible way. A mix of Madoka, Flip Flappers, Alice in Wonderland, and AnoHana; great direction, in medias res and non-chronological storytelling that makes you think, AWESOME, movie-like visuals. AOTS without any doubts so far if creators will keep this level of quality. |
| Well this one is an interesting slice of life. The music is very unique and it definitely is used correctly in a couple of scenes however in others the music didn't fit. Show is intriguing! Let's see where this original project shall take us. |
 |
| Okay, so I watched it just like that without much thought and I did not expect anything. But that ... I really did not expect that. |
 |
| Yoooooo! This anime has hella potential, I loved the first episode! The whole premise of saving people in a dream world, especially in this mind fucky way, is really cool. |
 |
| Hehehe this was very weird and I feel so lost but it was still very entertaining. Halfway through the episode, I thought "wait was there a horror tag in this?", turns out it's just slice of life? Which doesn't make sense because it doesn't feel like slice of life at all lol. The art and animation is so good that it felt like a movie. The mc is adorable... And she was bullied with that adorable face? To hell with those bullies, man. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Lmao that was totally not what I expected |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| That was weirdly unsettling but it makes sense if you use your brain really well. So from what I'm getting...Ai Ooto is pretty much bullied in school, turning her into an antisocialist. But then someone actually befriended her and she was about to be happy for once...and then that someone OOFed herself by falling down (like Ruru-chan)...oops. Now she's pretty much gone hikikomori mode and is just stuck at her bed. But in a dream, a mysterious voice led her to a random egg. Anime things happened and she broke the egg when a toilet paper spoke to her. And damn creepy and fucked up things happened along the way. So in order to save her "best friend", she has to save other people from dangerous situations in order to get enough points to save her "best friend". Seems pretty cool and since it's an original anime, this has potential to do anything it wants, of course as long as it's good. I love the art choice and the beautiful animation across the board. The creepy visuals from those 3d dangling creatures to girls that have censors in their eyes, like jeez CloverWorks you're doing mad shit here huh. I like where this is going although I question the likeliness of this turning to become a shitshow, I hope that is not the case. |

| Btw Wonder Egg Priority from the moment it got announced was actually full of mysteries. Yes it was announced but throughout the months before this premiere, in MAL there's literally no information about it. With the only exception being the promotional art. And even though the synopsis and PV gave us the gist, it doesn't give us the core idea of the show. So I love that CloverWorks and the W.E.P. production team is taking the risk to actually make this show mysterious and reclusive in nature. I felt like WEP almost pulled a Talentless Nana plot twist, where you're expecting one thing but actually got an unexpected treat. |

I think Wonder Egg Priority is more into thriller (yea with a bit of horror) from what I've watched. It confuses people to think it as an Sol show since the visuals looks clean and the art has some quality SoL-type style. |
|
| Holy shit I didn't expect for this show to have blood! It's one of the most unique first episodes I've watched in a long time. The animation and art are absolutely stunning as well. So what've gathered is that the eggs are people who committed suicide and they are given to people who lost someone because of suicide as well. So to bring your lost one to life back again, you have to save other eggs in the dream world. It seems that the injuries translate to real life, so that's something. |
| That was incredible. |
 |
| What happened to sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me? Being "bullied" is part of growing up. Shows you the world is a cruel and unfair place and you have to grow strong to survive. Well at least mentally. So basically this show is about some souls tormented in hell for committed suicide and a demon that tries to get another soul by using them, right? |
eastsip said: I agree, I agree, it calls for a shellebration. Kosmonaut said: Would you say this episode was eggcelent? Hm? It was certainly an eggsperience. |
|
| I can definitely say that this will be one of the animes of the year for sure and yes I'm saying this after only 1 episode . This first episode had literally so many strange yet thrilling events and had a great opening to it . The faint memories of our MC in her school life dived a bit into her personality and showed us that in reality she didn't want to betray her first ever made friend . I have somewhat confused thoughts about what the purpose of the creatures who got her the " Wonder Egg " and if they're really telling the truth about bringing her friend back to life but we'll have to wait and see . Overall great thrilling episode with a weird creepy feeling to it which makes it even better and an unexpected gem of the season , hope it really does become an unforgettable gem of this year . |
| We have something really special here, though it would be too early to get hyped after just one episode. |
 |
| Never been so hyped for an original anime since a long time. Great visuals, good sound tracks and I got Madoka Magica and Penguindrum vibes, I couldn't ask for more! |
